A client has been labeled as aggressive. Which behaviors should the nurse analyze as being con-sistent with that designation? The person:
 
  1. Stands up for his or her own rights and respects those of others
  2. Insists on his or her own rights and abuses those of others
  3. Does not stand up for his or her own rights
  4. Allows domination and feels victimized

Question 2

The nurse mentions, I like to use open-ended questions and statements because they result in fuller, more revealing responses by the client, and they stimulate discussion.
 
  Based on this, which of the following is the nurse most likely to ask or say during client assess-ment?
  1. Where is your family?
  2. Tell me about your family.
  3. Do you have a family?
  4. Would you like to talk about your family?

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The aggressive person insists on his or her own rights, often at the expense of the rights of others. Option 1 describes assertive persons. Options 3 and 4 describe passive individuals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
This broad opening will encourage discussion as well as allow the client to decide what to in-clude about his or her family. Option 1 may result in a one-word answer. Option 3 may result in a yes or no answer. Option 4 may not encourage further discussion, because the client may answer no.
